"The new centre will play a significant role in achieving India Yamaha Motor's goals. It will contribute to the profit by strengthening the business foundation and supply chain management operation," India Yamaha Motor's Managing Director Takashi Terabayashi told PTI.

The centre would support Yamaha's business by ensuring smooth supply of quality spare parts in South India as well as other parts of the country, he said.

"In the present industry scenario, customer satisfaction is the key to sustenance and growth. Timely supply of genuine spare parts to the customers is the key to success," Chairman, Yamaha Motor India Group Companies, Hiroaki Fujita said.

Currently, India Yamaha Motor has 20 spare parts distributors in 15 states and more than 3,000 spare parts retailers across the country, the statement added.
